The Massachusetts Republican State Committee was divided, but they ended up choosing to stick with incumbent Republican Party Chairman Jim Lyons when it came down to a vote on Sunday afternoon.
He topped Rep. Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk) in the vote 39-36, winning another two years in the position.
Jim Lyons will be the chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party for at least another term.
On Sunday, Lyons won his re-election bid in a vote that included 75 members of the Republican State Committee. Of those 75, 39 voted for Lyons, and 36 voted for state Representative Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), who challenged Lyons for the party leadership.
